They evinced no regard for this child's human life," Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said after the arraignment. "They caused his death both by forcing him to sleep in frigid temperatures in the garage and then by failing to do anything to help him as he died right in front of their eyes."
Assistant District Attorney Laura Newcombe said during the arraignment of Valva and Pollina late Friday that audio files recovered from the home recorded the couple discussing the fact that the child was suffering from hypothermia, had been washed with cold water, couldn't walk and was "face-planting" on the concrete on the morning he was killed.
Newcombe said that a recording from Jan. 17, the morning of the Thomas Valva's death, began with another child asking: "Why can't Thomas walk?"
Newcombe said that Pollina answered "because he's hypothermic," adding, "When you're washed with cold water and it's freezing you get hypothermia."
Valva's voice then said, according to Newcombe: "He keeps face planting on the concrete."
Sini said he had listened to the audio himself. "I can't describe it in words," he said. "The depravity of these defendants is shocking."
